Do not plug the exhaust. Any obstruction in the exhaust may cause the tank to build pressure

and become hotter the normal.

Do not attempt to open the sterilizer lid until the pressure is at “0psi”.

If you attempt to open the lid when pressurized high pressure steam could

cause serious bodily injury. Do not stand close to the lid since steam will

exhaust once opened.

Do not open drain when vessel is pressurized. Since sterilization water is hot just after

sterilization, let the water cool before draining.

The bottle, located in the inside of the front door contains hot water after operation. Let the

water cool prior to removing the bottle. To avoid possible bodily injury, do not open the door

during operation.

The plate, lid and surrounding areas are hot after operation. To avoid bodily injury, do not touch

these areas. Always wear protective gear when removing a processed load.

Once the lid is open and all steam has exhausted remove sterilized material with heat-resistant

gloves to prevent bodily injury.

Hot steam will disperse out of the louvers located in the back of this unit if a malfunction

occurs. Do not close the louvers.

When using the pressure relief switch be sure not to touch the exhaust areas of the sterilizer

since high pressure steam will exhaust.

Do not operate this unit without a basket.

Sample Run Examples

How to op erate the “STERILIZE” pro cess

Sterilize operation using a waste bag.① Be sure to open the mouth of the bag to let steam.

② Keep the bag approximately 2/3” height of the total depth of the chamber (Example: SM200 is

17.5” deep, so the bag should be placed 11.5” from the bottom). If the bag is placed higher than

this point, steam will not disperse easily and may result in incomplete sterilization, in addition,

the bag can easily cover the exhaust in the upper part of the container.

③ Set the temperature lower than the heat resisting point of the bag.

④ Set time depends on quality and quantity of the material being sterilized. (See chart below)

Example:Sample Temperature Time Notes

Gauze 121℃ 30min. 5 dry gauze’s

Petri Dish 121℃ 40min. 30 petri dishes with lid

◆ The above data is only for reference use. The outcome of sterilization varies according to quality

and quantity of substance and types of containers. The result of sterilization shall be checked

using a chemical indicator.

NOTE: Never operate this unit without a basket.

◇Push the “ENTER” key twice to resume

operation.


→The sub display blinks the set time.NOTE:

Always drain the excess water from the chamber after a cycle has been interrupted. Failure to drain

the excess water from the chamber after a cycle interrupt can result in subsequent unsterile loads as a

result of contact with water in the chamber.

Pressure Relief Switc h

How to use the pressure rel ief switch

◇Push the Pressure Relief Switch.

By pushing this switch, open the solenoid exhaust

valve opens. Steam inside the chamber is exhausted

into the bottle, decreasing the chamber pressure and

temperature.

The pressure relief switch can be used only when the solenoid exhaust valve is closed.

Be sure the material will not bump. Be careful not to touch the exhaust areas of the

sterilizer since high pressure steam will exhaust. Bumping or steam spouting due to

sudden pressure decrease could damage the container or cause bodily injury.

Troubleshooting GuideSafety

Self-d iagnost ic Circuit ry

The Yamato sterilizer was designed with self-diagnostic circuitry capable of monitoring operation of

the sterilizer. If a malfunction occurs, the display panel blinks the error code and an alarm is sounded.The microprocessor disables power to the heater element. If this occurs, check the error code and

immediately shut off the main breaker.

The safety valve is activated if pressure inside the chamber is abnormal. No special alarm is given

when the safety valve is activated. However, a significant amount of steam will spout out of the louvers

or spaces on the exterior. In this situation, there can be some problems such as an air purge or

problems with the temperature controller. Push the “ENTER” key immediately to stop the operation.

Turn off the main breaker after the steam spouting out settles down.

In case of power failure

If the main circuit breaker is turned off during operation or main power is temporally interrupted

during operation.

1． The sterilzier will remain in the state it was disabled at. A power failure will result in the

chamber remaining pressurized if it was under pressure at the time of the failure.

2． When power is restored the operation program is lost and the solenoid exhaust valve will

remain closed until the chamber temperature is below boiling point.

Do not open the lid in this situation or hot and high pressure steam will spout out.

If you want to open the lid, use the pressure relief switch to reduce pressure inside the chamber

to “0psi”.

Maintenance

For m aintenance

For maintenance, turn the breaker and power supply off for safety. If the chamber is hot, wait for

it to cool. Wipe off any dirt on the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner orcleanser to wipe, nor scrub with a brush.

Daily Maintenance

Cleaning after l iqu id loads

Biological media tends to boil at a higher rate compared to other liquids. This can cause media

to be splattered inside the chamber. Therefore, the chamber must be cleaned daily with a damp

cloth after temperature has cooled.

Weekly Maintenance

Cleaning the inside of the chamber

Clean the inside of the chamber with a clean damp cloth. Do not pull the filter out, located in the

bottom center when cleaning the inside of the chamber. If cleaned without the filter inside, the

pipe can get clogged with debris.

Filter cleaning

If the filter in the bottom center of the chamber is

clogged, drainage is prevented. Clean the filter in

appropriate intervals, according to frequency of

use.

Pull the filter out, from the bottom drain port. The

filter may be cleaned under the water faucet.

Cleaning the Door Gasket

The door gasket, located under the lid of the sterilizer can be wiped clean with a clean damp

cloth. The gasket should be examined for cracks or damage that can result in a poor pressure

seal. If replacement is needed, contact Yamato Scientific.

Cleaning th e Pipe Heater

The pipe heater should be cleaned twice a month.

Accumulation of scale build up results in poor heat transfer and high sheath temperatures.
